Christmas with the Ekstroms

Christmas Eve we spent with my family at my mom's house. Church was cancelled because of the weather so we just hung out and enjoyed each others company.

Christmas with the Schmidts

We had a really nice Christmas this year, it was somewhat relaxing once we learned to go with the flow! Here's some pictures from Christmas day. Poor Paul and Dawn didn't have power so we all meet up at our house and had a nice breakfast, and opened gifts.

Don't you dare try and take my saftey goggles!

This poor seagull didn't know what to do. It just sat on our porch looking at all the snow. The kids thought it was awesome though!
